13 This is How We'll Pass

How will you find me

            my face buried in a sketch pad or

            furiously writing,

or me you, 

            your face buried in a book,

            somehow both smiling and crying?

My hair is short now, my piercings in some

            drawer somewhere...

and you'll be on a bad hair day,

           too busy running from project to project.

I'll be too lazy that day to try something new, 

and you'll be too caught up with friends to notice me.

I'll have stains on my pants that day, 

           and you'll be in your most intimidating outfit.

You'll be in a hilarious mood,

           I'll be consoling a friend.

I'll be wandering in Bolivia  and you'll be

         wandering in Bangladesh.            

You'll be thinking that I'm just some crazy guy staring, 

        and you'll hurry to get away

and I'll be staring just like some crazy guy, muttering 

        and wondering what to say

...that will make you want my name?
